Junior Betas Inducted at Fall Banquet The Beta Club is an honorary or- ganization for Juniors and Seniors with 3.2 (B + ) grade average. Members must maintain a 3.0 aver- age in order to remain in the club. Juniors meeting the Beta Club standards were inducted as mem- bers at a banquet held in the fall. Beta members were involved in various projects such as preparing food baskets for needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas and operating the concession stand at basketball games and constructing a float for Homecoming. Also, dif- ferent members are responsible for devotions each Friday morning. Three contestants and an alter- nate were elected from the club to compete on Klassroom Kwiz. Chosen to represent the Dublin Beta Club this year were Connie Ratcliffe, Keith Campbell, and Bob Peek. Larry Johnston was the alternate. The club sponsors were Miss Richardson and Miss Phillips.

Linguistics Expands The Linguistics Department has grown to include a Foreign Lan- guage division in addition to the English Department. Spanish, in- itiated at D.H.S. this year and taught by Mrs. Virginia Huddle, joined Mrs. Thalia Looney ' s Latin and French classes to form an ex- panded Foreign Language Depart- ment. Student demands necessi- tated broadening our Foreign Language courses. ■ The English Department ex- perimented with team teaching programs on the eighth and elev- enth grade levels. Mrs. Virginia Huddle, Mrs. Elaine Jackson, and Miss Susan Davidson were in- volved with the Eighth Grade pro- gram; Mr. Roy Maiden, Miss Su- zanne Steele, and Mr. John Newberry worked with the Juniors. Curriculum in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades— such as the study of grammar, poetry, and short sto- ries— was standardized with Pulaski High in preparation for unifying in 75 . For the first time, all Seniors had Mrs. Ann Armbrister for grammar and Mr. Newberry for the study of Lord of the Flies by William Gold- ing and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. English teachers were in the hec- tic swing of preparing a curriculum for the new school. After much de- liberation, they wrote paragraph descriptions of the course to be of- fered and the materials to be used. This year, Mr. Newberry had a Creative Writing class as a new course. The thirteen students en- rolled learned that one does not have to be inspired to write effectively. Mr. Michael Rolen was new in Linguistics, adding new ideas to the largest department in the school. Senior English students would be more than happy to do without the weekly spelling tests, but Mrs. Armbrister insists that these are for their own good, and continues grading. Linguistics MRS.
